Hey my friends. Long time follower, first time poster (starting a post that is). I have a question. I recently watched this video and I'm wondering which armband this guy is using. I asked him in the video comment box and I didn't get a response so I figured I'd start a post here.
Theres the video. Now, I tried comparing this one with these next two links but they didn't look the same to me. These two are the only two armbands that i've seen for the nexus one. From the front of the armband that this guy is using it does look like a tuneband, however the straps don't look the same. If it is one of these two armbands in the link below, let me know.
1. http://www.amazon.com/Tuneband-Gran..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0944CSX2WR2S7Z4HVZYB
2. http://www.amazon.com/iArmBands-Arm...Phones/dp/B0017KCZWI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Any help would be appreciated.
I saw that one at best buy. The brand is called Rocketfish and it's made for the iphone.

I'm glad I could help
I bought the tuneband tonight. Could someone please tell me how long it takes to ship. I picked 3-5 days but I did that for my case mate tough case and it showed up 2 days later. I can't wait to start using the tune belt. Peace
Head over to daydeal.com they have some accessories even a TV out cord that says its for the incredible and g2 ( anyone got extra cash to buy it and see if it works? ) I ordered this clear case with a kickstand I'll put a review when i get it. But take a look. Not much of a selection but might as well be prepared
have no plans of making a fat phone fatter. maybe an invisible shield or BSE but no hard case for me.
Hate to say it, but I don't think we'll be seeing much accessories for this phone. Due to it being a Tmobile phone only, I just don't see many making products for it.
Im gonna get something to protect the back cuz it looks like it gets scratched easily

I'll probably just keep my eye on decalgirl.com and wait for them to release some of their awesome quality skins. I've used their product on all my handheld portable devices that they make skins for.

I doubt only being for tmobile will make it have less accessories. I have so many cases and such for my nexus and the nexus was mostly used on tmobile but now they have it across seas. The iPhones an at&t only phone and it has too many accessories. And to ditto what he said there is also the desire z

I understand that the Desire Z will be out as well, and that still means nothing. All those cases you speak of for the Nexus One are cheap cases found on eBay, or made by some cheap China company. I know because I own a Nexus One as well, and it took a while to find a great case for it.
Also, to compare the new G2 to an iPhone is just stupid. iPhone carries the name, and has been around for years. Of course there's a ton of crap for it. Heck the G2 won't even come near to selling a quarter of what the iPhone, nor will it come close to what the Galaxy S has for that matter.
All I'm saying is that we won't see the nicer accessories made by the better companies make product for this phone. We're just gonna get stuck with those cheap ebay crap.

You can't really blame them. In a business perspective making accessories for the iphone is the most profitable since iphone is, in a sense, dumbed down for the masses. Right now I think Apple and Blackberry combined own at least 50% market share. So unless Android can somehow bring their share of the smartphone market up another 10%, I doubt accessory manufacturers will see accessories for Android devices as a primary source of revenue.
Android devices are made for geeks like us who like to customize instead of having things already premade for us. So I'm sure this aspect will appeal to more and more people in the near future. And from what I've seen, HTC has brilliant marketing campaigns. I'm sure in around 3 or 4 more quarters android will have a much better standing in the smartphone market and more accessories will be made. Just my 2 cents.

I just contacted DecalGirl and they said that the phone is scheduled for R&D for their products. They seem to have a pretty quick turnaround once they have a template made for a device.
i have a 99 cent silicon case for my nexus one which came with a free screen protector. they work great, and have kept my phone flawless.... so cheap ebay stuff works just fine for me.
I'm going to miss my Nexus One's foam pouch.
Anyone seen something like that for the G2 yet?

You shoulda kept the N1 pouch...the G2 fits pretty good in it! Snug, but good enough for me until I get some protection for the thing.

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has the Acer Liquid Glow E330? I can't really find much info on here threadwise and there doesn't seem to be a specific section for it (maybe mods could add one).
I bought mine about a month ago and its not bad, but it could be better. Anyone else have any opinion on this phone?

I looking at getting one myself - it looks to be a well specified ICS phone at a reasonable price
I'm worried though that there is very little mention of it online. Most "reviews" date back to February when it was annonced and don't really tell you much. I'm also worried that when I go looking for cases to protect it, I can't find anything (other than generic slip cases, etc).
I'd be very interested in what you have to say about it in the areas of general usability, quality of construction, calls, battery life, stability - all the stuff you only get from people who actually own and use the phone! Oh, and if you found a case supplier, I'd be keen to hear about that too!

Oh hey, i got a liquid glow and from using for 3 weeks it is a really good phone.
For protection cases theres nothing except those pull tab things you find on ebay. ( i ordered one)
the only problem i have with it is the wifi, but that may be because of my router and well its not a well known phone.
As you said the reviews date back to when it was announced and acer already announced a new line of phones so I am not sure if this phone is ever gonna be known to a big public out there....
But in a nutshell: Good phone 4 low price... but keep in mind that it is still a low end phone so sometimes it gets laggy because you're running too many apps, just close them.
bye
and probably acer stop support & upgrade it very quickly
phone: sgs2 GT-I9100
kernel : dorimanx 5.79beta
main rom: rr 2.7
second rom: cm 9.1
baseband: I9100XXLQ6
Thanks for the replies.
It's a bit curious that there is so little online about these phones. They appear to offer a decent spec for a reasonable price. For me, its ICS, screen resolution, SDHC expansion and replacable battery are the key selling points - I don't think there is any competition at that price. The Expansys website has the phone no. 6 in its popularity stakes (Whatever that means: http://www.expansys.com/acer-liquid-glow-cats-eye-black-234412/); I suppose it suggests they are at least selling some.
Not seeing any cases for it on EBay tends to scare me though - and confirm the thoughts of the poster above that it will have little support :crying: Will we see Jellybean for example? Acer appear to be promoting the Android-rivalling Aliyun operating system in other markets and this doesn't fill me with confidence regarding their commitment into the future.
So, it looks like anyone buying the phone should do so in the knowledge that they will be unsupported in terms of accessories and future updates. Still a tempting spec as-is though

So I saw this on my Facebook feed a couple days ago and they actually look quite good. I've only found one review video on the case but its for an iPhone. There are a few 5-10 second clips on their instagram as well.
The dimensions on the Pixel XL cases are: 6.382 x 3.282 x 0.453 compared to the actual phone, 6.09 x 2.98 x 0.33
site: https://kerfcase.com/collections/wood-cases-for-google-pixel-and-pixel-xl
insta: https://www.instagram.com/kerfcase/
iPhone video: https://youtu.be/IjYND5pOwTo?t=205
They also have 20% off with code: EARTH2017
I'm still deciding if I should buy one or not.. They are pretty expensive.. If anyone has this case can you show us more pictures and tell us your experience with it? thanks
Looks great. Thanks for the tip!
So now that the Oppo Find X is out, which phone do you think is the "bezel-less" king?
I actually prefer the Nex. The Find X looks better, but it only has the camera to unlock, and given the amount of times I unlock the phone a day, I don't trust the mechanism. You also need to popup for the rear cameras, and it seems to take a while to launch the viewfinder.
The popup for the Nex selfie camera is better unless you are constantly taking selfies during the day (who does that?). Also I prefer the under glass fingerprint scanner to facial recognition. And as a plus, it has an even bigger battery.
oppo find x would be slightly more expensive tho, but probably a better camera
but vivo get better audio, headphone jack!! and hifi

Just as you mentioned,for the looks & WOW factor,I think the OPPO Find X has the VIVO NEX beat hands down.
Otherwise,the only other area that is a definitive win for the Find X is more LTE Bands,but,there should be enough for most users on either phone.
http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=devi...l_sim_td-lte_cn_256gb__nex_ultimate__bbk_apex
http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device&id=13498&c=oppo_find_x_dual_sim_td-lte_apac_pafm00__paft00
http://phonedb.net/index.php?m=device&s=compare
The NEX has the Find X beat in price & while I think I'd like using the Find X,the novelty of the slider would fade quickly (I don't lock my phone or take selfies,so,the Find X slider would get little use anyway).
Another area that the NEX is a better choice for me is that I don't care for the curved screen edges of the Find X,the NEX doesn't appear to have the curves.
If I'd waited one more day,perhaps I'd be in a wait & see mode,but,I ordered the NEX the very day before the Find X was introduced & don't regret it.
Who knows,by the time the Find X actually goes up for sale (8/2018),there may be another pop-up/slider or,another take on the full-screen phone ready to hit the street.
Yeah curve screens still annoy me cuz I do watch videos a bit and the image always appear narrower than it is. Prone to accidental side touches and the glares.. Ugh.
But of these two, I do think the slide mechanism is more refined, seamless in the Oppo instead of a tiny dongle of Vivo. However I think it's a mistake to put one too many functions/sensors in there. Cameras are fine, but to not have fps and have an intrinsic function like secure unlocking dependant on the mechanism is too much imo. I do like the ultra cool paint job of its back vs the Nex glared pattern which I don't care for.
I'm confident though the Nex is the right device for me due to features it has which the Oppo doesn't ie. headphone jack, DAC, fps Scanner(wish it was all lower screen like the concept tho), bigger battery, thinner, more affordable. Perfect solution for me would just be the Nex but having the same back paint application of the Oppo and I'd be a happy dude! Lol!
Much prefer Vivo Nex over Oppo.
1.Bigger battery capacity.
2.Audio jack 3.5 and DAC support
3.Prefer 3d scanner under screen as completely new technology than 3d iris recognition(i do have over 2.5 years both surface pro 4 and now surface book that have iris scanner recognition but think its much preferd to laptop/ultrabook over smartphone)
4.Im really fall in love with rainbow effect glass back on Vivo Nex
The Vivo for me.
I very much dislike curved screens after using the S7 Edge for few years. When I see a 'flat screen' phone like the Pixel 2, I get a bit jelly. I miss those...
I don't find the Oppo looks any more attractive than Vivo's to be honest. So I don't have anything going for it. But all the positives listed above are just cherry on top after looking at the prices that they will likely be entering the market at. I don't want to spend a grand on a phone, I'm not there in life yet unfortunately. And even if it wasn't that expensive, I don't think I'd even care all that much for the Find X. Mainly cos of that damn curve!
Yep just ordered mine. I was going wait for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer but I can always get that later. I think this is definitely a much more user friendly phone as it is leveraging a new design element to make the screen better but not making it an absolute if it failed. The Oppo would be useless if the mechanism failed where as with the Nex I just can’t take selfies. Plus larger battery and underscreen fimgerprint scanner put it over the top. IMO

Looks like I overpaid by about 20% vs your cost,that's what I get for being impatient.
I would cancel,but,the seller (LIAOW) did state he'll ship out same or next day of initial availability (6/23-6/24) & it's a bit close to that point.
If there are delays (5 days or more) before I see a tracking number,I'll cancel & go w/TradingShenzen.

I can’t wait! How long did it take you to get a shipping number with your other phones. I assume with the time change I ordered in the middle of the night there. So don’t expect anything until Sunday. (Monday there)
